On state news CBC; Canada is giddy and they talk about the negotiation, "oh well we might not be able to get anything concrete done until after the Mexican election and then we can do things...oh, we are going to have a tough time completing this until after the Mid Terms" etc etc. As I've said 1000 times, Canada wants to make no concessions and their strategy (I'm sure with reassurances by Obama) has been to delay, delay, and give up nothing major ever.
So, I hear today, that Jared was in the negotiations, he is ardently in support of NAFTA and if Trump followed his world view, Hillary would have won 2016 in a landslide. Jared met with Lighthizer who is dealing with two pariah trade nations in Canada and Mexico, and I just make an assumption, without any information outside of following CBC in particular; that he is there to ensure NAFTA doesn't go away. Even though, without question, Trump could make a far better deal with bilateral leverage, and it would help his support at the ballot box..
Now, I am telling you, Trump not having a wall, and still having NAFTA in place by the midterms, is going to hurt him far more than he realizes, and it worries me. Outside of my personal bias as a Whistleblower against Canada abuses, strictly from a political standpoint, he has to grab this. The Democrats haven't said a peep about NAFTA, because they know, the less they say, the better the chance it will remain and the Democrats will use this against him.
I wish Trump would have went with his gut, he has a great feel for these things, I GUARANTEE, that if he would have said in this first week he was in office, that "I'm giving our six month notice of withdrawal of NAFTA", that either NAFTA would have been successfully negotiated before that period ended, or, the U.S would already have bilateral deals in place.
Notice Canadas key negotiator wording, "unclear when a deal will come". I wish I could tell President Trump, Canada does NOT want this to complete, they want to delay, kick the can and make excuses, while the key sectors who voted for Trump will be told at their doors and in flyers, "Trump didn't keep his word, vote Democrats, we will help you"
Canada has, 500,000 jobs in the auto industry, and we don't even have one single auto company. Why would Canada want to allow American businesses to move back to America when Canada gets this massive subsidy?
Freeland: There's movement on NAFTA, unclear when deal will come
